For 4th of July weekend, we of course had lots to do. First we went to Kansas to stay at Joel and Kristen's. The entire Lundstrom clan was going to be there. We got there Friday night and the Denver Lundstrom's were already there. Saturday morning, we got up bright and early to get on the boat. We took Ava and Braydon first. It was the first time they were on a boat and first time with life jackets on. Once the boat started moving they had a blast.


Braydon enjoying the wind in his face






Ava went tubing with mom and dad and she was pretty relaxed!




Braydon was also relaxed and took a nap on the boat








Once he woke up, he was ready to go tubing with him! He didn't say much, I would just ask him if he wanted to be all done and he would say no!





When we were all done, his hair was slightly windblown




Then we traded Braydon and Ava for Tyson and Ryan. So Ryan and Tyson got to ride the tube together. They did pretty good and of course had a pretty good flip!



In Joel and Kristen's backyard, they have the neighborhood park, so of course the kids love going over there to play.





Braydon got to enjoy some watermelon



Of course we had to attempt to get some family pictures. It keeps getting harder and harder every year.




A picture of the boys hiding inside during all the fireworks going on. Braydon liked them at first, but the loud noises got to him, so he preferred to be inside.




On Sunday we enjoyed some water fun. We had the water snake going and Braydon and Ava enjoyed that.



We also decided that water balloons would be fun. And of course the water balloon launcher did not disappoint.




We had a great trip! The Lundstroms were the great hosts as always. Thanks for having us.
We headed home Sunday night.

Then Monday, July 4th we headed to Perry for some more 4th of July fun. First up was the 4th of July parade. This was Braydon first parade and he loved it. He sat through the whole thing and actually threw the candy back. He got to watch the parade with some of his 2nd cousins, the Fernedings - so they showed him what to do.









Also in the parade was Great Grandpa Wink's little blue car, Braydons Great Uncle John was driving and Grandpa was in the passenger seat.


Then Braydon got a fun surprise at Grandma Marcia's - a trampoline. He wasn't sure what to do at first, but he enjoyed it wants he got in.


We spent the rest of the day at Grandma Marcia's with some of the Winkelman group enjoying good food and company.
